PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers football P Adam Korsak added Preseason First Team All-America honors from Athlon Sports in the organization's recently released magazine previewing the 2022 season. Korsak also picked up the same status from Phil Steele.
Named Second Team All-America in 2021 by the Associated Press, FWAA, Phil Steele and Walter Camp, Korsak helped the Scarlet Knights to a net punting average of 45.25 yards to set a new NCAA record. The Aussie was voted a Ray Guy Award finalist, winning the fan vote, to become the first Scarlet Knight to place in the top-three for a national on-field award since 2007.
Opponents had a return of less than four yards 69-of-72 attempts, with 65 times recording a zero or negative return. In addition, Korsak pinned 38 inside the 20 with 16 settling at the 10 or closer and four times stopping a punt at the 1-yard line. He boomed 19 at least 50 yards on the way to setting a new program record with a 45.8 average, recording zero touchbacks. The two-time team captain has posted 124 consecutive attempts without a touchback dating back to 2019 and was voted First Team All-Big Ten in the coaches' vote. Korsak additionally holds the Rutgers records for career punting yards (12,021), career punts (274) and longest punt (79 yards).
